Air marshal accused of taking photos under skirts

ARLINGTON, Va. (WJLA) - According to police and official court records, 28-year-old Federal Air Marshal Adam Bartsch of Crofton, Maryland boarded Southwest flight 3132 in Nashville, Tennessee on Thursday morning. But the Tampa-bound plane was delayed at the gate.

A woman who answered the door at Bartsch’s home in Crofton refused to respond to our questions and closed the door. Meanwhile, neighbors we spoke with were stunned by the news, saying Bartsch is married with a young child and the last person they would suspect of doing something like this.

"I'm caught totally off guard," said neighbor Eugene Phillips. "I never would have suspected it. He seemed like a nice family man."

In a prepared statement, a TSA spokesperson says:

“TSA does not tolerate criminal behavior. The agency immediately removed this individual from his current duties and is in the process of suspending or terminating his employment. TSA continues to assist with the investigation.”
